Nothing is Impossible with God

Good morning and welcome to SWOTVAC.

JPII House is open longer this week to help foster a great study environment for our students. Check out the open hours and Mass times for this week here. There is no coincidence that we celebrate the feast of St Jude this Thursday to bolster our hope that indeed, there are no impossible causes!

We were honoured to host Monsignor Thair Sheikh from the Chaldean community on the udisciple podcast. His testimony of faith in the midst of physical suffering in Iraq calls us on to stand up for our faith in our daily lives here in Melbourne.

A great group of students across all campuses shared a perfect day at the Melbourne Marian Pilgrimage on the feast of JPII. Their joy was contagious all along the route. We hope to see many of you at the WYD Information Sessions this week to prepare for our 2023 pilgrimage across the globe.

Know of our prayers for all the students preparing for exams. We look forward to seeing you at the End of Year Celebration.

God bless you,

The Udisciple Team
